SK OCSP

The validity confirmation service or OCSP service allows you to ask for real-time status information on any certificate issued by SK (incl the ID-card, Smart-ID and Mobile-ID certificates). OCSP is a simple client-server service that follows the RFC 6960 standard. Simply put, the OCSP client sends a request to the OCSP responder (server) about the validity of a certificate, to which the responder sends a response that contains information about the status of the given certificate (valid/not valid), and the timestamp for the confirmation. The response is digitally signed.

The positive response from OCSP means that the certificate has been issued and was valid at the time of the issuance of the response. As an exception, the GOOD response will be given also for an expired certificate issued under ESTEID2018 CA, provided that the certificate has not been revoked or suspended. The checking of validity in time must be done on the service side, in accordance with RFC 6960.
